You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Modeling > Surfaces > Create Surfaces > Primitive Surfaces > Cone
  • Toolbox: Primitive Surfaces


SettingDescription
Axis Sets the direction of the cone's axis (height).
  • Points — Direction of height is defined graphically. AccuDraw can be used to define the drawing plane on which the points are placed.
  • Screen X, Y, or Z — Direction of the height is set to the screen's X, Y, or Z axis.
  • Drawing X, Y, or Z — Direction of the height is set to the drawing's, or design file's, X, Y, or Z axis.
Orthogonal If on, the cone is a right cone.
Top Radius If on, sets the second radius.
Base Radius If on, sets the first radius.
Height If on, sets the height.
